MARVELLOUS CHANGES.
What the Future Will be to Those Who
Refuse to Believe.

Is this country unconsciously under
going wonderful change, is the change
to take place before we are aware of the
fact, and when it has taken place will we
wonder why we did not see it before it
was too late?
Those that see the changes early avail
themselves early, and thereby receive
benefit.
The shrewd iron man sees the iron in
terest transferred from Pittsburg and
Pennsylvania to Birmingham, Alabama,
and in his far.sightedness sees the fur
naces in Pennsylvania torn down and de-
serted for this new and prolific field. 1t
is claimed by the iron men Of Alabama
that the low price at which iron can be
produced there will revolutionize the iron
interests Of the world.
We have seen the grain-growing GEN.
tere of this country shifted to the West.
We have seen the pork packing industry
fit from Cincinnati to Chicago, and from
thence to Kansas City and Omaha.
Southern cotton mills undersell New
England and American markets, and
challenge the world.
We have seen and are seeing all this take
place before our eyes, and know that
other changes are taking place equally as
prominent, and we wonder as we behold
them. Ten years ago the insurance
companies only required an analysis of
the fluids when they we're taking in
surance for very large amounts. To-day
no first-class company will insure any
amount unless they have rigid analysis
of the fluids passed, and if any traces of
certain disorders are apparent, the appli-
cation is rejected. In their reports they
show that the death of sixty of every
100 people in this country, is due either
directly or Indirectly to such disorders.
The Brompton Hospital for Consump-
tives, London, England, reports that sixty
of every 100 victims of consumption also
have serious disorders of the kidneys.
Among scientists for the treatment of
this dread malady the question is being
discussed:
as not this disorder the real cause of
consumption"
Ten years ago the microscope was
something seldom found in physicians
Office; now every physician of standing
has one and seldom visits his patients
without calling for sample of fluids for
examination.
Why is all this? Is it possible that we
of the present generation are to die of
diseases caused by kidney disorders? or
shall we master the cause by Warmers
safe cure, the only recognized specific,
and thus remove the effects? It is estab-
lished beyond doubt that very large
percentage of deaths in this country are
traceable to diseased kidneys. For years
the proprietors of Warmers safe cure
have been insisting that there is no sound
health when the kidneys are diseased, and
they enthusiastically press their specific
for this terrible disorder upon public at
tention. We are continually hearing its
praises sounded.
This means wonders!
Cannot the proprietors of this great
remedy, who have been warning us of
the danger, tell us how to avoid disease
that at first is SO unimportant, and is SO
fatal in its termination? Are we to hope
against hope, and wait without our re-
ward?
The most significant of all changes,
however, that we of to-day can note, is
the radical change OF view to which the
public has been educated. 1t was for
merly thought that the kidneys were of
very small Importance; to-day, we be-
heve, it is generally admitted that there
can be no such thing as sound health in
any organ if they are in the least degree
deranged.
